It’s true… selling your house can sometimes mean that you have to pay. (This isn’t always the case but it often is.) We want to you to know about the different fees you have to pay because this information may help you decide whether to work with an agent or to sell your house directly to real estate investor.

What Are The Different Fees Paid To Agents Versus Paid To Investors In North Stamford CT? – Agent Fees

An agent is a salesperson and they will try to find a buyer to buy your house. In order to do this, they will list your house in a listing service and use various marketing efforts to try and find a buyer.

So you’ll end up having to pay some fees to the agent. Those fees usually include a commission if they can sell the house (this is the highest amount of money you’ll have to pay and it’s often about 6% of the sale price of the house, or about $6,000 for a $100,000). There may be other fees you have to pay as well, and these might include different advertising fees or other costs associated with selling your house. There might be a fee to list your house, or there might be a fee to the agent’s brokerage or there might be a fee to get a sign in front of your house or there might be a fee for the title company… the list goes on and on. You can ask the agent about these and they should tell you.

What Are The Different Fees Paid To Agents Versus Paid To Investors In North Stamford CT? — Investor Fees

This is the part that surprises most house-sellers: for most real estate investors, there are rarely any fees to cover. Investors will usually take care of all fees associated with selling. Plus there’s no commission to pay because they’re not agents so they’re not listing your house. You might be responsible for closing costs but this depends on the investor so make sure you ask the investor who pays for those costs.

The One “Fee” In Connecticut You May Not Be Thinking Of

There’s one more cost (“fee”) that you might not be thinking of: when you work with an agent, they’ll get you to fix up your house and then you’ll have to pay bills and taxes for as long as it takes the agent to find a buyer. So although this isn’t a fee to the agent, it’s a cost you’ll have to pay because of the agent… yet when you sell the house to an investor, they buy quickly so you end up saving this cost as well.
